Hire Fullstack Designers for Design Systems, UI Development & Production Code

We match you with pre-vetted fullstack designers within 48 hours of receiving your requirements. After you interview and approve candidates (typically 1-2 days), designers can start onboarding within 5 days. Most teams have their first component designed and implemented by Day 12. This assumes you have design requirements documented. If you need help defining requirements, add 3-5 days for a discovery sprint.

Four-stage vetting:

(1) Portfolio review focusing on production work, not concepts or student projects.

(2) Design implementation challenge: design a component in Figma, build it in React, document it in Storybook.

(3) Live design review with system design discussion for senior roles.

(4) Background verification: criminal, education, employment history.

Top 1% of applicants pass. Average experience of accepted candidates:

6.8 years. We reject designers who have only Dribbble portfolios without production implementation.

Yes, always. We share 2-3 candidate profiles with detailed portfolios, implementation samples, and communication examples. You conduct your own interviews however you prefer: portfolio reviews, design challenges, pair programming. No commitment until you approve. If none fit, we source additional candidates at no cost. You are hiring for your team; we just accelerate the search.

Monthly rates by experience: Junior (1-3 years) $2,500-$3,500, Mid-level (4-7 years) $3,500-$5,000, Senior (8+ years) $5,000-$7,000, Lead/Principal (10+ years) $7,000-$10,000+. All rates are fully loaded: compensation, benefits, equipment, software licenses, infrastructure, management, and replacement insurance. No hidden fees. No setup costs. The rate you see is the rate you pay.

Everything required for the designer to be productive: Base salary and benefits, health insurance, equipment (laptop, displays, peripherals), software licenses (Figma, Adobe CC, development tools), secure office infrastructure, management overhead, and replacement insurance. You pay one predictable monthly amount. We do not charge for onboarding, knowledge transfer, or reasonable scope clarification calls.

No. Zero setup fees. Zero onboarding charges. Zero surprise invoices. The monthly rate covers everything for standard engagements. If you need additional services like dedicated design management (beyond designer-level coordination), specialized compliance training, or on-site visits, we quote those separately and upfront before you commit. 90%+ of our clients use standard engagements with no add-ons.

Our fullstack designers work with Figma (primary), Sketch, and Adobe XD for design. Frontend frameworks include React, Vue.js, Next.js, and Angular. Design system tools include Storybook, Chromatic, Style Dictionary, and Token Studio. All designers are proficient in CSS, Tailwind, and modern animation libraries. We match designers to your specific tooling requirements. If you use less common tools, we can discuss compatibility.

Yes. During discovery, we audit your current Figma libraries, component structure, design tokens, and codebase patterns. We prioritize designers with direct experience in your stack. If exact match is unavailable (rare for common stacks), we select designers with adjacent experience and provide 1-week targeted ramp-up on your specific system. You approve the match before we start. We do not force-fit designers into systems they do not know.

We recommend 3 months minimum. This accounts for 2-3 week ramp-up and ensures you get meaningful value. Shorter engagements are possible for tightly scoped work (e.g., “audit this design system” or “redesign this checkout flow”) but require upfront definition. Month-to-month is available after the initial 3 months. We do not lock you into annual contracts.

Yes, with reasonable notice. Scale up: 1-2 weeks notice (we maintain pre-vetted bench for common skill profiles). Scale down: 2 weeks notice (allows proper handoff). No penalties for team size changes. If you need to scale to zero (project ends), 2 weeks notice and we handle clean exit: design file handover, documentation, knowledge transfer. You are never stuck.
